Emergence of Radial Tree of Bend Stripes in Active Nematics
Living liquid crystals, a realization of active nematics where a lyotropic liquid crystal is combined with active bacteria, exhibit a plethora of out-of-equilibrium phenomena that range from active turbulence and dynamic spatiotemporal patterns to the creation and annihilation of motile topological...
